Jeff Roberts, the high school's program director, was notified recently by the forensic league that Mountain Brook has earned a spot on the league's "200 Club," which recognizes programs earning 200 degrees or more in the last year. A spokeswoman for the league said a team earns degrees by the number of students enrolled in a debating program, and the points earned in competition.

The 200 Club recognizes the top 5 percent of league chapters nationwide.

The Mountain Brook Board of Education this week recognized Roberts and the team for its achievement.
